Bai Jiu came over that night and told Bai Shuang what he had found out: Wang Yuantu's injury was not caused by fighting.
When Wang Yuantu and his colleagues were doing research, they were very focused. After get off work, they often experienced dizziness and eye pain, and the doctor gave them a bottle of eye drops.
Several of them lived in the same dormitory. Before going to bed at night, he would sit at the table, put eye drops into his eyes, and then close his eyes and roll his eyeballs.
But when he opened his eyes, he found that everything in front of him was pitch black.
"Oh no, I'm going blind! Did this lousy doctor give me a bottle of poison? Ah—"
The old man shouted and fell off the stool, knocking over the table in the process.
"It's over, it's over, Old Pao has gone mad!"
"A power outage scared you this much?"
Wind power generation is unstable, so power outages are quite normal, aren't they? He's really unsteady. The others quickly lit an oil lamp and helped him up.
At this moment, it was discovered that his forehead was bleeding...
After listening to Bai Jiu's story, Bai Shuang was both amused and exasperated. She knew he loved his research and cared a lot about his eyes, but he should at least be more careful and wait until he understood the situation before speaking.
The conditions at this research institute were quite good. Bai Shuang was wearing a thermostatic suit and didn't feel cold. The staff brought in a coal stove, and the blankets were quite thick. There were electric lights in the room.
But Bai Shuang was still worried about carbon monoxide poisoning. Leaving the window open was too cold, as it was -50 degrees Celsius outside. She wondered how they managed to survive.
He opened Bai Jiu's door, put the coal stove into his spatial storage, and gave him a battery and an electric heater. "Wake me up when you get up tomorrow."
Back in her room, she first called Bai Chang on the walkie-talkie to tell him she wouldn't be going back that night. Then, she tried to call Lu Yu on the walkie-talkie, but he called back.
Bai Shuang told him that Wang Yuantu's wounds had been treated and he should be fine. The batch of medicine collected on the hillside had also been refined.
"You can keep the wages and medical expenses for now."
Is everything alright at the barracks lately? I'd like the soldiers to help me make mulberry paper.
Lu Yu: "Sure, it's extremely cold and snowing lately, we can't go out."
Bai Shuang: "At that time, the wages will be offset, with any overpayment refunded and any underpayment collected."
Between Bai Shuang and Lu Yu, personal matters are personal matters, and business is business. When it comes to collective matters, wages cannot be taken lightly.
Lu Yu also told Bai Shuang that the Kang family donated a batch of medicines to the Kyoto base in exchange for the future operating rights of the base's hospital.
It seems that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; we really underestimated them.
Before the disaster, the Kang family's traditional Chinese medicine practice was suppressed by the Bai family and could only rank second. They must have harbored a lot of resentment. Now that they have the opportunity, they want to take the lead.
The Bai family did not specifically target anyone; it simply possessed a thousand-year-old foundation in traditional Chinese medicine and medical skills, which the Kang family's traditional Chinese medicine could not match.
A while ago, after the incident between Bai Shuang's aunt and her master, Bai Shuang seriously suspected that their boss was the Kang family.
With natural disasters raging and people still vying for power and profit, survival is the priority. Since they want the operating rights to the Kyoto base hospital, let them have it. We won't fight them for it. In the apocalypse, whoever survives to the end is the winner.
After finalizing the matter of making mulberry bark paper with Lu Yu, we should take advantage of the soldiers' time now and get it done as soon as we get back, in case they have any other tasks later.
Making mulberry bark paper requires more than 10 steps, which is beyond what Bai Shuang and her two friends can do. It also involves a large-scale process, including soaking, boiling, hammering, and drying, and it's not something that can be done at home.
Bai Shuang had originally planned to have the people in Building C do the work during the extreme cold period, which would also help them earn some food. However, the situation in Building C is complicated now, and Bai Shuang doesn't want to gamble with people's hearts.
Unlike in the military camp, where everyone was Lu Yu's personal guard and he was there to cover for them in many matters, otherwise, taking out too many things would arouse suspicion.
After finishing her call with Lu Yu, Bai Shuang closed the door, propped it up with the bed, and went into her space to sleep. This was the first time Bai Shuang had ever been willing to rest in her space. She had saved up for more than a year to accumulate just over ten days of space time.
next day
Bai Shuang came out after washing up in the space. She said it was really comfortable to rest in there. She wished there was no time limit.
Bai Shuang first collected the battery and electric heater from Bai Jiu's room, and then went to check on Old Man Pao's injuries.
Upon entering the room, Dr. Jiao was already there, examining the wound. Bai Shuang went over to check and found that the injury had improved, the inflammation had subsided considerably, and the person seemed to be in good spirits.
Dr. Jiao looked at her with admiration, "As expected of the Bai family, your medical skills are truly excellent. The inflammation subsided in just one night."
"Dr. Jiao's medical skills are not bad either; it's just that the medicine was expired."
With his injuries improving, Bai Shuang was relieved. Dr. Jiao changed the medicine Bai Shuang had given Old Man Pao and re-bandaged his wound.
A researcher standing nearby remarked, "I never imagined you'd have such excellent medical skills at such a young age!"
"You flatter me."
Old Man Cannon: "Thank you! I didn't expect you to actually know how to treat illnesses."
Bai Jiu: "Of course my young lady can treat illnesses."
"Young lady, are you the same young miracle doctor from the Bai family?"
"Bai Shuang is incompetent; her reputation is merely empty."
"So it's the little miracle doctor! Oh dear, we were so blind! I knew it! Who could raise such a talent?"
Just then, a clear, crisp voice was heard, "Dad, Mom asked me to bring you your food."
Bai Shuang felt the voice sounded familiar. The girl walked in and said, "It's you, Liu Xiaoyang."
"My benefactor! I didn't know you were a scientist too. I'm truly impressed."
Liu Xiaoyang is the kidnapped woman that Bai Shuang rescued from the den of thieves half a month ago. It turns out that she is Academician Liu's daughter (Academician Liu was also one of the researchers rescued from Yangling before the extreme cold).
